| Male | |
| Oo en kulfi kuchchi | Oh, my sweet kulfi stick, |
| Un kalla parvai mutti | When your playful glance strikes me, |
| En nenjil oru sil theriyuthae | A cool chill ripples through my heart. |
| Male | |
| Oo my duty fruti | Oh, my sweet tutti-frutti, |
| Un ennam konjam maatti | If you change your mind just a little, |
| En meesai ellam karupaaguthae | My mustache turns black again with youth. |
| Male | |
| Ho thendralum sokkuthae | Oh, even the gentle breeze gets mesmerized, |
| Nearmum thikkuthae | Even time itself stammers, |
| Enakkonnum puriyalaiyae | I do not understand anything happening at all. |
| Female | |
| Oo aasaiyum ooruthae | Oh, desire wells up inside, |
| Kaalamum kooduthae | The right time has aligned, |
| Vaarththai ingae thevai illaiyae | Words are not required here anymore. |
ஓ என் குல்பி குச்சி
உன் கள்ள பார்வை முட்டி
என் நெஞ்சில் ஒரு சில் தெரியுதே
Oh, my sweet kulfi stick,
When your playful glance strikes me,
A cool chill ripples through my heart.
ஓ மை டூட்டி புரூட்டி
உன் எண்ணம் கொஞ்சம் மாட்டி
என் மீசை எல்லாம் கருப்பாகுதே
Oh, my sweet tutti-frutti,
If you change your mind just a little,
My mustache turns black again with youth.
ஹோ தென்றலும் சொக்குதே
நேரமும் திக்குதே
எனக்கொன்னும் புரியலையே
Oh, even the gentle breeze gets mesmerized,
Even time itself stammers,
I do not understand anything happening at all.
விசில் :
.............................
Oh, desire wells up inside,
The right time has aligned,
Words are not required here anymore.
ஓ மை சிங்கக்குட்டி
நீ பேசும் வார்த்தை கிட்டி
என் இதயத்தில் வேகம் கூடுதே
ஃபேர்ரி டைரி தேடி
உன் பாவை கொஞ்சம் நொடி
ஆனாலும் கூட கன்னம் கூசுதே
ஓ ஆசையும் ஊறுதே
காலமும் கூடுதே
வார்த்தை இங்கே தேவை இல்லையே
விசில் :
.............................
Oo en kulfi kuchchi
Oh, my sweet kulfi stick,
Un kalla parvai mutti
When your playful glance strikes me,
En nenjil oru sil theriyuthae
A cool chill ripples through my heart.
Oo my duty fruti
Oh, my sweet tutti-frutti,
Un ennam konjam maatti
If you change your mind just a little,
En meesai ellam karupaaguthae
My mustache turns black again with youth.
Ho thendralum sokkuthae
Oh, even the gentle breeze gets mesmerized,
Nearmum thikkuthae
Even time itself stammers,
Enakkonnum puriyalaiyae
I do not understand anything happening at all.
Oo aasaiyum ooruthae
Oh, desire wells up inside,
Kaalamum kooduthae
The right time has aligned,
Vaarththai ingae thevai illaiyae
Words are not required here anymore.
